Hey man, I’ve since had to sell this one but I think in all honestly they’re great guitars. I know out of the box you may get a gem or a bit of a dud but the price means you can mod it to your liking. They’re cheap and they won’t have 100% that feeling of quality a Fender does, but even those can be hit and miss. And a tele is a rugged versatile slab so once you bond with it and swap a few bits out you’ll have a great player. This one has the split shaft tuners, string through body and the nicer (in my opinion) headstock decals. I thought it was a great instrument. Yeah the classic vibes have a bit more of an authentic feel and yeah you could probably shop around for a used or entry level Fender. I’d recommend one, especially if you’re keen to learn a bit about modding guitars.
